There were 4 of us here to consume this great tasting dish, so I made the recipe as given, although I did substitute 1 teaspoon of lemon pepper for the usual S&P! The combo of herbs & spices gave this a very nice flavor! Thanks for sharing it! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]

Lynn this was quite good. I made this as a special dinner for DH and I tonite and we both savoured it. I did cut back most ingredients for 2 servings but did keep the shrimp at a pound.(they had them on sale for 6.99 lb.) I added the bread crumbs in the last 3 min. just to warm and toast them a bit. I will make this again and soon. Love it and thank you. Made for AUS/NZ Swap #44.

This was very good. I cut the shrimp down to 1 lb, but only halved the remaining ingredients to be sure there was plenty of sauce. We served it with angel hair pasta. The shrimp was very flavorful, but the remaining sauce and pasta wasn't as strongly flavored as I thought it would be. Still, it's a keeper. Thanks for an awesome recipe.
